The first question would be, does scribalbum.py or scribalbuma4.py work 
-- i.e., do the scaling and redrawing commands work there for you?
I think you need to scale back lulu2.py and reduce the logical 
decisions: forget about odd/even pages, don't have so many format 
choices.  Pick a small directory where all the pictures are the same 
size/scale, so you know what should happen.
Make sure you comment out anything you don't need. If you are going to 
use setScaleImageToFrame(), you don't need your variables fscale or 
gscale, and you don't want to use setScale().  Make sure you have the 
syntax in setScaleImageToFrame() correct.
I'm curious about the gotoPage(numpagina)  --- I didn't have to use that 
in scribalbum.py, since I was always working on the 'current' page.  You 
can still use numpagina for odd/even pages.
